Bear Lake "mini" Family Vacation

Beautiful Sunset at Bear Lake
We had a wonderful couple of days just with our little family up at Bear Lake. Rob had some vacation time that had to be used by the end of March or he would lose it. So we planned for a couple of days of family fun up to Bear Lake. We stayed at Rob's parents' home up there. Rob also planned a little project to do while we were there (pictures later in the post). 


We love going through the Logan way because we always love to stop and walk through the Willow Park Zoo. This is such a fun small park/zoo - with lots of cute animals. Karlee always loves to feed the ducks. Then we went across the street and played a little bit at a park. Rob loved the swings!

We did a little shopping and had a little dinner and then headed over Logan Canyon. It was a really good way to start our mini vacation.

Once we got the house at Bear Lake Rob got to work on his ''little project''. As a thank you for his parents letting us live in their basement for the past year (oh what fun this has been. ugh) Rob decided that he would recover his parents master bath fireplace.

Before
Rob did an amazing job on this ''little'' project. He started removing the tile and ended up removing all the drywall. So luckily there was some left over drywall in the garage (which saved us an unplanned trip to Montpelier ID). The fireplace looks amazing!!! Check it Out!!!!

After
We really enjoyed out time up at the Bear Lake house. It was so quiet and peaceful. Once the fireplace was done we enjoyed a quick trip into Montpelier ID for some park fun. Back at the house we enjoyed watching movies, playing games, putting puzzles together, and yummy food (we bought too much and had so much that came home with us - oh well).




On our way back from our little outing we got Rob to pull over so that Karlee and I could put our feet in Bear Lake. We couldn't Rob to come down and put his feet in with us. It really was COLD, but we saw many "crazies" out there actually swimming and playing in the water. Guess we were the wimps - but come on its just MARCH!!!

We had such a fun 5 days up in Bear Lake and can't wait to go back. We actually are having the Worthen Family Reunion this summer, we can't wait to share this wonderful place with our family.
